Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1980686
Well, i swear i’m not drunk enough to drive
So pass me the bottle, and i’ll give the road a try
I hope, i pray the roads are clear tonight
Because i’m gonna find my way to you
If it cost me my life

I’ve reached the point in my mind
Where i mean nothing to me
If i wreck and kill myself tonight
At least i’m finally free

But this hurts a little less cuz i’ve been drinking
And i’m not stuck in my head thinking
About the faults in me that cost me my love with you
So pass me that there whiskey bottle
Beforе i shift into full throttle
To take me from this pain
And savе me from the truth

As i sit in the driveway
I’m thinking to myself
Should i visit the abc store
Or maybe taco bell
And is it really safe for me to drive?
Because it’s hard to eat that crunchwrap
When you’re not alive
Cuz i’ve reached the point in my mind
Where i mean nothing to me
If i wreck and kill myself tonight
At least i’m finally free

But this hurts a little less cuz i’ve been drinking
And i’m not stuck in my head thinking
About the faults in me that cost me my love with you
So pass me that there whiskey bottle
Before i shift into full throttle
To take me from this pain
And save me from the truth

As i pull out on the highway
The first thing that i see
Is a pair of blinding headlights
Headed straight for me
Well, my feet go numb and my stomach churns
As it empties on the floor
I slam on the brakes, but it’s too late
My car has overturned

As i’m thrown out from the side door
I kiss the cold black tar
And i consummate the carnage
As i’m crushed beneath my car
Well, i’ve almost reached nirvana
Where i’m finally rid of me
As i lay here on this road tonight
I think i’m finally free

But this hurts a little less cuz i’ve been drinking
And i’m not stuck in my head thinkin’
About the faults in me that cost me my love with you
But it’s the stupid things i did like this
That cost me you, i will admit
Because my lies would all be vain
Where i’m done in by the truth
